Hey, thanks for the replies, I'll see if I can clarify a little bit.

I'm not sure, just a hypothesis. What I meant is that my server is
probably seeing that a request is coming from a 129.97.x.x address,
and then deciding to return through NIC #2, and that possibly the
client machine isn't expecting that, so never recieves the packet. I
don't really much about the innards of networking, so it probably
works nothing like that

To what extent do I need to set up DNS? Are we talking about making a
full BIND server and making sense out of that? Can you point me in the
direction of a good guide, the handbook is awfully confusing on that
subject.

Right now, I am using a third-party DNS server (www.no-ip.org) with a
registered domain name because on my old connection I was using a
dynamic IP. Is my best bet just to contact them and see if they can
set up entries that redirect certain IPs?
